Movie Clip Filters Not Showing Up In SWF Preview

[Twisted4000]

So I'm making a game and I want the background to be blurred. I did that, and I see it blurred, but when testing the movie in SWF form, there's no blur effect on it... this never happened before.

The only thing I can possibly think of is that the background, along with everything else, is programmed to move when you press the arrow keys... could filters possibly just be removed if you program it to move?? I'm using Flash 8 with AS2. Help...

Don't know what's happening, but you can always do it with Actionscript:

onClipEvent(load){
    import flash.filters.BlurFilter;
}

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
    var myBlurFilter = new BlurFilter (20,30,3); //20 is X, and 30 is Y, and 3 is Quality
    this.filters = [myBlurFilter];
}

Use this on the Background Movieclip - see if it helps

Btw, do you still not understand SharedObjects, 'cause I am preparing a Flash movie for you, explaining SharedObjects
